Please tag the subject lines of your posts, for example [CreateSpace] or [Formatting]. This makes finding things much easier than having a dozen separate forums.

A common problem with posts is that they neglect to mention what software is being used, or, for example, whether the question as to do with CS or Spark, or paperback or ebooks. Please give as much information as possible.
